| washinston Republican
Miss Kate Fields lecture drew out q sur
prisingly large and distinguished audience.
| 1t was brilliant and admirable discourse,
abundant in good points and witty thrusts,
and the Mormon Monster" was portrayed
in all its hideousness. The audience
was captivated and carried with
the charming speaker, and interrupted
her with many bursts OK applause
Miss Field wore very striking and Plctur-
esQue costume made of American saflns,
black and crimson combined. She took the
material with her from this country, and IN
Paris Worth relented from his rule and mate
the fabrics up into q dress OF the Henri ~
mode, with pulled sleeves and waist and
slashed pieces showing the brilliant crimson
| here and there about the skirt and train a
the president from attending, as he bad sig
nified his intention Of doing. and he sent
graceful regrets at the last moment.
AT THE CRAWFORD.
Last night Kate Claxson appeared Sat the
Crawford's in the Two Orphans. The per-
formance was highly appreciated by the au-
dience and was without doubt one OF the
best of the few good that has been given In
| the city during this theatrical season.
OF Miss Claxton's Interpretation Of Louise
| nothing will be said; she has made the char
acter as well as the play famous. Mr.. Chas.
A. Stevenson, her leading man, imper-
sonated the outlaw to perfection
The support was exceptionally strong;
| there appearing to be not weak character
in the cast Miss Marie Floyd who played
with such charming sweetness and natural
ness the character of Henrietta is deserving
Of especial mention.
Tonight Miss Claxton will present
by request for the last time the Madison
Square theatre version of Hugh Conway's
thrilling novel, Scaled Back" She will
portray Pauline March; Charles 4. Steven
son, Prolo Macari; Miss Marie Floyd. Mary
Vaughn.
Called Back is story in which the ele-
ments Of humor and pathos are SO finely
blended that the emotions Of the spectator
are no sooner wrought up to the point OF
tears than some quick dramatic turn changes
the tyde of sympathy into the swift channel
of laughter. The interest froths and bubbles
along until again it broadens out into . deep
er phase Of young girls life history.
GARFIELD OPERA HOUSE.
The sale of Emma Abbott seats commenced
in real earnest today. AS all the opera chairs
and about two-thirds of the rest are taken
for the season, there is little doubt but it will
be a success. Col Stewart consulted . well
known surveyor from New York who made
a thorough examination of the walls, stair
ways, etc., and pronounces the building per-
fectly ssfe. He laughed heartily at the idea
of its falling in and only suggested ready
means of egress in case of fire or panic, which
Colonel Stewart has adopted and placed a
fire escape at the windows on tho west side.
All the windows will be unfast ened SO that
with the wide doors and stairway crush
would be impossible. In addition to these
precautions fire hose is adjusted and ready
for instant use at the side of the stage with
hose sufficient to deluge with water any part
of the building
